--JESUS WEPT~
-John 11:35
----  --When Jesus saw Mary and Martha and their friends weeping over the death of Lazarus, "He groaned in the spirit and was troubled" (John 11:33). He loved Lazarus and his sisters. Even though He knew that He would soon be raising Lazarus from the dead, He wept with them (v.35). Some Bible scholars think that part of Jesus' weeping also may have been over death itself and the pain and sadness it causes in people's hearts. Loss is a part of life. But because Jesus is "the resurrection and the life" (v.25), those who believe in Him will one day experience an end of all death and sorrow. In the meantime, He weeps with us over our losses and asks us to "weep with those who weep" (Rom. 12:15).---- --COMPASSION HELPS TO HEAL THE HURTS OF OTHERS. ~~
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
